Though my feelings for ASHES were conflicted, SHADOWS is where things really kicked into high gear. Everything I had assumed gave way to greater depths of nuance and politics and guile. Nothing is as I assumed, not the Changed, not Rule, not Alex and her abilities. As with I AM LEGEND, the lines between good and bad begin to blur, populations on both sides of the divide show sparks of humanity, and I enjoyed each and every nuance in the struggle.
